Easier (and more reliable?) horizontal menu tips.
Last night at 2AM, my test site menu was rock solid. This morning, I
had issues with missing menu grafx and even 403 errors when trying to
access the images in other browsers. Might not be a big deal and just
a temporary Google hosting issue, but it led me to find an alternative
worth sharing.
By following the instructions on the site below, I was able to create
a text based mouse-over menu gadget that sits in the exact same spot
as your Bluemoo image driven menu. It is actually only a single text
XML file that sits in the site's Google docs area.

Here's a link to the test site (subject to change without notice). The
second page in (ABOUT) is the only one left using the image menu and
over a period of several hours, varying link images will appear and
then disappear. On the other hand, the new text menu never fails
(yet).

The only drag is that each time I time I need to edit the menu.xml
file, I have to upload it to Google docs and then change the url to
the gadget on each page. I wish I could crack the code on how to link
to an actual file name in the sites. Then, each time I uploaded
changes, the entire site would be good-to-go. But, Google won't let me
edit the XML file in Docs, and the XML file URL I see when I drill
down to the file is extremely long and not even close to the actual
site name. But it works when pasted into the gadget url field.
Does anyone know how to link to a file using a site-friendly URL (i.e.
http://sites.google.com/a/sitename/site/docs-folder/ACTUAL OBJECT
NAME)?
